Our findings provide useful information for phylogenetic and evolutionary research of Perciformes species.Liriope platyphylla is herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Asparagaceae family and widely used both as ornamental plant and herbal medicine. The complete chloroplast genome of L. platyphylla was 156,754?bp in length, which was composed of four distinct parts; a large single copy (LSC) of 85,118?bp, a small single copy (SSC) of 18,680?bp, and a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb) of 26,478?bp. A total of 130 genes including 83 protein-coding genes, 39 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes were identified.

The GC content in the whole cp genome, LSC region, SSC region, and IR region were 37.4, 34.9, 32.4, and 42.6%, respectively. The phylogenetic tree indicated that W. indica has a close relationship with Stellera chamaejasme with 100% support.Styrax japonicus is a shrub with high economic values. Here, complete chloroplast (cp) genomes were reported using high-throughput Illumina sequencing. The size of the S. japonicus chloroplast genome is 157,940?bp long, with an average AT content of 63.05%, containing a pair of inverted repeats of 24,047?bp, separated by a large single copy and a small single copy region of 87,562?bp and 22,284?bp, respectively. It contains 125 genes, including79 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree supported the fact that the chloroplast genome of S. japonicus is closely related to that of Symplocos paniculate.Tagetes erecta (Asteraceae) has been wildly cultivated as ornamental and medicinal plant. Here, we reported the first chloroplast genome sequence of T. erecta. The chloroplast genome size is 152,065?bp with GC content of 37.4%, including a large single-copy (LSC) of 83,895?bp, a small single-copy (SSC) of 18,065?bp, and a pair of 25,048?bp IR (inverted repeat) regions. A total of 132 genes were annotated including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that T. erecta belongs to the subfamily Asteroideae.Jeffersonia diphylla, which belongs to Berberidaceae, is a perennial herb native to North America. In the present study, we determined the first plastome of J. diphylla using genome skimming approach. The pastome of J. diphylla is 152,842?bp in length, with a large single copy region (LSC) of 82,266?bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 19,284?bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,646?bp. It encodes 113 unique genes, consisting of 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes, with 19 duplicated genes in the IR regions. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that J. diphylla is sister to Plagiorhegma dubium, subsequently is sister to a clade including Diphylleia, Sinopodophyllum, Podophyllum, Dysosma, Achlys, and Epimedium.The species Phlomoides betonicoides is used medicinally and mainly distributed in southwest China. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/uk5099.html The first complete plastid genome sequence of P. betonicoides reported here was 151,777?bp long, with the large single copy (LSC) region of 83,205?bp, the small single copy (SSC) region of 17,370?bp and two inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 25,601?bp. The plastome contained 114 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, four ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content was 38.5%. Result from phylogenetic analysis suggests that tribe Phlomideae (Phlomoides) is closely related to tribe Lamieae and tribe Leonureae in present study.The long-legged fly Medetera sp. (Genbank accession number MN604695) belongs to the subfamily Medeterinae of Dolichopodidae. The mitogenome of Medetera sp. was sequenced, the first representative of the mitogenome of the subfamily. The mitogenome is 14,740?bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have similar locations and strands with that of other published species of Dolichopodidae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, which together made up 67.6％ of the entirety. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Dolichopodidae. It suggested that subfamily Medeterinae is the sister group of subfamily Rhaphiinae.Lilium speciosum var. gloriosoides is an important breeding parent with high ornamental and edible value in worldwide. In this study, we reported a complete chloroplast genome of L. speciosum var. gloriosoides, which was de novo assembled using the next-generation sequencing data. The whole genome is 152,912?bp in length and includes one large single copy (LSC) region of 70,693?bp, one small single copy (SSC) region of 17,517?bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) region of 26,539?bp. A total of 131 functional genes were encoded, consisting of 76 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer RNA genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. The overall AT content of the chloroplast genome is 63.00%. In the maximum likelihood, a strong phylogenetic signal showed that L. speciosum var. gloriosoides is a species of Lilium, which is the first major genome in section Archelirion.The genus Phyllostachys is economically important; however, only a small amount of complete plastid genomes have been reported to date. Here, we characterized two complete chloroplast genomes of Phyllostachys using genome skimming. The chloroplast genomes of Phyllostachys reticulata and Phyllostachys edulis 'Pachyloen' were 136,689?bp and 139,678?bp in length, respectively, and their GC contents were 38.8% and 38.9%, respectively. The sequences of each species contained 132 unique genes, including 39 tRNA, eight rRNA, and 85 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic analysis shows that all selected Phyllostachys species were grouped into one well-supported clade in the Phyllostachys clade (V) of Arundinarieae. Moreover, in terms of chloroplast genome size, structure, and composition, P. edulis 'Pachyloen' is identical to P. edulis, further indicating the affinity between them.
